What The World Calls The New Normal
The new normal today is about dealing and coping with the current pandemic and coronavirus we now experience. This current and foreseeable crisis has brought governments, political leaders, science and health organizations around the world to collaborate for solutions and eradication of this dilemma. The new normal if accepted as a permanent way of life will bring many uncertain and lasting changes in the world that we may or may not want to accept. But interestingly enough pandemics, plagues and viruses aren’t new introductions in the world.
How world governments, leaders and society respond will prove success or failure. But the so called, new normal really isn’t new.
From a biblical perspective we find that what the world is calling the new normal today has been normal for over 2000 years. The true new normal can be found in the book of St Matthews 24:6-7 where the Lord says, And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you not be troubled: for all these things must come to past, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be FAMINES, and PESTILENCES (plagues and viruses) and EARTHQUAKES in various places.
In the book of Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 it reads, The thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done and there is NO NEW THING under the sun. Is there any thing where for it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

What The World Calls The Great Reset
The world has declared the great reset is a shifting event to bring worldwide ECONOMIC and SOCIAL change. The current pandemic and coronavirus crisis is the catalyst and platform by which this great reset has been brought forth for such a time as this. Could this reset possibly RESTRUCTURE, RESHAPE, REMOVE our founding customs, way of life, freedoms, economies, and our way of thinking?
Will this plan create a unified world government and a one world leader?
From a biblical perspective we find another reset called a New Heaven and a New Earth. You can read some portions of it in the book of Revelations 21:1-4. It reads, And I saw a new Heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away: and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of Heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of Heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them , and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:for the former things are passed away.
This is the Greatest and Final Reset for all eternity. Won’t you become a part of it?
You are loved and welcomed by God thru Christ Jesus to enter in!!

What The World Calls Cancel Culture
What is it? The cancel culture is defined by the world as “withdrawing” support for public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive that doesn’t agree with their views and ideas. This phenomenon has created division in our society today. This culture is spearheaded by political and societal sects in government and social media. The cancel culture has wagered attacks against those with opposing views, opinions, thoughts and beliefs. The cancel culture have taken the seat of judgement to condemn those who speak contrary to their rules, opinions, standards and agenda.
From a biblical perspective we find scripture that tells believers how to live in the current cancel culture environment. We are to conform to God’s word. We live in His culture- called the kingdom of God!
In 2 Corinthians 6:14-17 it reads as follows;
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what concord (agreement) has Christ with Belial? or what part has he that believes with an infidel? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore COME OUT from among them, and be separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters saith the Lord Almighty.
As believers the cancel culture don’t define us, nor has power over us.
For we are in God’s culture called the kingdom of God culture!!

What The World Calls Climate Change
What’s this great controversy and debate all about? Is it based on fact, fiction or some hidden agenda? The world’s leaders in governments and corporations are urging mankind to fight climate change. They warn us saying that the global warming that’s changing our climate is having dire consequences.
They report that in the past few decades:
– Rising temperatures
– Chunks of ice in the Antarctic have been broken apart
– Wildlife seasons are months longer
– Coral reefs have been bleached of their colors
– Mosquitos are expanding their territory, enable to spread disease
They say what’s causing these harmful changes is mainly us. Do mankind really have the power to destroy the earth and/or save the earth?
Suppose all of the above events happening are true, but are they really new ones? (FYI – these changes have been occurring the past 6000 years)
From a biblical perspective on climate change we find in the scriptures from Genesis 8:22 the following: While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 it says,…the thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is NO NEW THING under the sun.
Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
(Please remember this and live life from a biblical perspective).
